Abstract: Un dispositif d'éclairage comprend une source de lumière et un corps de transmission de la lumière se présentant sous forme d'un tube. Le corps de transmission de la lumière en forme de tube comprend une surface d'entrée sur laquelle la lumière provenant de la source de lumière peut s'appliquer, une surface réfléchissante comprenant une pluralité de prismes et une surface de sortie opposée à la surface réfléchissante. La largeur entre la surface réfléchissante et la surface de sortie, sur la surface d'entrée du corps de transmission de la lumière en forme de tube est plus petite que la largeur de la source de lumière dans le même sens. Ceci unifie la distribution de la luminosité de la lumière sortant du corps de transmission de la lumière en forme de tube. Un dispositif d'éclairage du type plan est formé par l'association du dispositif d'éclairage à un corps de transmission de la lumière du type plaque. Un dispositif d'affichage à cristaux liquides est formé par la combinaison du dispositif d'éclairage avec un panneau à cristaux liquides.

Abstract: The invention relates to shears comprising a stationary blade (1) and a movable blade (2) which moves during the shearing movement of the shears. An operating mechanism (5) is arranged to affect a point of the pin (6) located at a distance from the movable blade (2). When the shears are being closed, a force is thus generated which also tries to pull the movable blade (2) towards and against the stationary blade (1) and to keep the blades (1, 2) in contact with each other. The operating mechanism (5) is arranged to affect the joint pin (6) through a sleeve-like part (7). The interior of the sleeve comprises two conical sections (8, 9), the narrowest point of the interior of the sleeve determining the point from which the sleeve-like part (7) affects the joint pin (6). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A distal component (24) for a wrist prosthesis includes an ovoid fixation plate (38) having three holes (52,54,56) and a boss. The three holes (52,54,56) allow attachment of stems (42) and/or screws distally for fixation in the carpus. The boss projects proximally from the plate, and serves as an attachment point for the articulating head (32). Modularity of the fixation and articulating components allow a surgeon many options for optimizing fixation distally, and articulation proximally. The proximal head of the distal component is designed to articulate with existing radial components. Since the proximal head of the distal component (24) is modular, however, the head can be redesigned to accommodate later design changes in proximal components. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a wavelength converter (100) for binary optical signals comprising an interferometer structure (110) for generating an output signal by modulating a received local signal (LS) according to the modulation of a further received first input signal (IS1). When such interferometer structures (110) are operated in a standard mode it is known in the art to provide a control means (130-1) for controlling the power of the input signal (IS1) such that the extinction ratio of the output signal is kept minimal. The invention provides a modified control means (130-1,130-2) for also achieving the minimal extinction ratio when the wavelength converter (100) and in particular the interferometer structure (110) is operated in a differential mode receiving two input signals (IS1,IS2). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A bi-directional overrunning clutch for transmitting torque to segments of a primary drive axle. The clutch includes an input gear, a clutch housing, and hubs extending out of the housing that attach to the segments. A roll cage is located within the housing and has rollers arranged in two sets, each set located adjacent to a hub. The rollers wedge between the hubs and first tapered portions on the clutch housing when the roll cage is rotated in a first direction relative to the housing (forward-engagement position), and between the hubs and second tapered portions on the clutch housing when the roll cage is rotated in a second direction relative to the housing. A friction member contacts the roll cage to engage the roll cage to the hub to wedge the rolls between the hubs and the clutch housing.
